A 39-year-old woman has had items worth around £30,000 stolen after thieves broke into her car when it was parked near Ravenscourt Park.

At about 6.40pm on Wednesday, 24 January, the victim parked in Beavor Lane, W6. She left the car for about five minutes, and in that time two people on pedal cycles approached the vehicle, smashed a rear window and stole a Burberry handbag which contained bank cards, travel documents, a mobile phone, cash, clothes, make-up and jewellery.

"Even more distressing for the victim is that she has lost a one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable, handmade necklace and pendant give to her by her father.

"We are determined to catch those responsible and bring them to justice.”
